No pain, no gain?

Having my lunch and suddenly thought of my mom. If she's still here I would go home for lunch everyday since office and home is so near.

Think again, I've lost my treasure but I think I've gained something out of it. I've grown up, more independent, make decisions and plans for myself. I could never do all these if mom is by my side.

Which do I prefer? Myself now or the baby last time? I don't know, not sure if the pain was worth what I gained though. All I know was my lifestyle was more or less changed. In fact, some part of my life currently is actually painful because of some unneccessary burden which in my opinion was not my responsibility.

Anyways, life goes on..
